Rode wijn · Zuid-Afrika · merlot · 13,5%

Why this works together

Chosen for the colour (red wine), the flavour profile from our online shop (supple & subtle), the grape (merlot), the alcohol percentage (13.5%) and the note of cherry in the description. Weigh weight against weight: next to a heavy stew this wine gets pushed aside, next to poultry and mushrooms it comes out on top.

Serve at 16 to 18 °C.
